Lost Virtual Drive

If I am connected to the network when I boot up (ie: in the office), because
the T drive physically exists, the connection takes place and I am. If I
suspend, unplug and move – the ‘T’ drive is still connected but it goes to
the T drive that is cached on my laptop hard drive which is what I want

If I boot up the PC when out of the office, there is no physical networked T
drive and hence no mapping takes place and hence I cannot see the physical,
or the cached virtual, T drive. Even though I might be able to then connect
to the company network over the VPN, the mapping macro has long gone at boot
time and hence I still cannot see the T drive (virtual or physical). Equally,
I have booted offline and I connect at the office, the macro has still long
gone and I cannot see either

Is there any way to make the virtual drive a permamant virtual drive?

Thanks

Chris

No - but you could just make a script to map the drive with "net use" after
you connect to the office in whatever manner.
